When I look at Singapore directly, it's there for 99k saver points.

When I look at Alaska it's 100k saver points.

My "bank" is 400k United Mileage Plus, 100k Amex, 100k Chase, and 300k Bonvoy (that I never use as I work for Marriott)

How would you handle this? I'm thinking transfer the Amex & Chase points directly to SQ and book from there?

Really appreciate it.
Seems like the right approach.

AS miles are worth more than SQ miles to me, so at basically the same rate, would recommend booking with SQ.

And wouldn't recommend transferring the Marriott points, since there are other more valuable transfer partners than SQ.
